I think we're going to have a very interesting season in the Big Brother house. Of course, you would think that a few houseguests might want to think before scheming, but...!
Tonight's show began with Julie Chen gathering the Top Twenty contestants (announced on June 21). Similar to the nominations, she had a round podium with keys (or similar implements of entry). She announced she would draw the keys of the top four women voted by America and then the top four men, in no particular order. So, we don't exactly know who ended up as the top vote-getters.
The top four women were Janelle, Erika, Nakomis, and Diane. They ran gleefully into the house and selected the room with the bed for four. Now remember, Erika and Alison despise each other. Nakomis said she feels she's with a bunch of girly-girls. (I think compared to Nakomis, I'm a girly-girl and I'm so not a girly-girl!) I can't help but wonder how this rooming situation is going to play out. I doubt they'll be together as roommates for long.
Then Julie named the top four men voted by America (or those who voted, anyway). Howie, Kaysar, James, and Jase headed into the house. Jase is plenty worried — he's surrounded by BB6 houseguests! Can he con his way through the crowd? Is he as smart as he tells us he is? With Howie, it was all about "All-Star Boobies." Same old Howie, the ever-adolescent Jedi warrior.
Meanwhile, the rest of the 20 were looking very nervous. Cowboy was about to cry. Even the Evil Doctor Will looked worried. Then Julie announced six more were going in, not four more — for a total of 14 houseguests. These were apparently the choice of the producers, as well as an attempt to have every season represented. The order in which she announced the six was: Will, Danielle, Marcellas, Alison, Mike, and George.
Once the houseguests were all gathered in the rather oddly-decorated new house (huge bugs on walls, flames on another wall), beneath all the hugging and congratulating, the scheming started. Will and Mike teamed up, discussing how the BB6 players had to go. Will especially seems to not like Kaysar. Mike seemed to be the more mellow of the two, saying they had to play it cool. Everyone except the BB6 folks seem to be very worried about the sizable alliance they could very likely present.

I hate Will, but he was totally right when he said that if the HH's don't nominate him they're idiots.
If there was one lesson from BB2, it was that Will should have been dealt with early. Granted, they made an effort, but once they got rid of Boogie and Shannon, they just let him ride -- and he won. People had this idea that because he was a bad guy, and therefore a known quantity, they could just let him ride and get rid of him later.
Well, we know how THAT brilliant scheme turned out.
So, already we're off on the wrong foot.
Having said that, I was pleased to see Danielle and Allison nominated. One nice thing about this season is that the house is full of people I can't stand and really want to see destroyed.
The only really decent people are the BB6 people, who of course already have a target on their back.
